Routines on Rest 2nd Gen (formerly Programs on Rest Classic) allow you to schedule sound and color combinations for certain times, durations, and days. Routines are ideal for customizing your family's Rest 2nd Gen to your sleep and wake-up schedule. We also love Routines for helping little ones know when it's ok to get out of bed in the morning.
In the Hatch Sleep app, you'll find a couple of recommended Routines pre-loaded, such as a green “Time-to-Rise” and a dim orange for “Stay in Bed”. Add and personalize Routines to suit your family's needs. Also, you can now add content from the Hatch Sleep library to any of your Routines.
How to manage your Routines:
- First, tap the pencil icon next to the "My Routines" section of the screen to open the Manage Routines menu.
See below sections for more on how to customize and manage your Routines!
How to enable and disable Routines:
- Enable a Routine – In the Manage Routines menu, toggle the button on the right side so that it appears turquoise blue (screenshot below). If a Routine is enabled, it will automatically play at the scheduled time.
- Disable a Routine – In the Manage Routines menu, toggle the button on the right side so that it appears navy blue (In the below screenshot the Routines "Time to Rise" and "Get ready for bed" are disabled)
How to edit an existing Routine:
- Tap the Routine you'd like to edit
- You may edit the name of the Routine by tapping on the current name & typing in your desired change.

- To edit the sound, light color, volume, and brightness, tap the section that displays a mini preview and the name of the sound. When you've finished adjusting these settings, tap "Done".
- To set which days of the week your Routine will play, click "Repeat" and select the days you want to use your Routine. Tap "Done" to save your adjustment.
- Tap save to store your Routine.
How to add content from the Hatch Sleep library to a Routine:
- On the Routine Edit screen, tap the sound selection.

- Explore the available Hatch Sleep channels and select the channel you'd like to use in your Routine. (You can preview any of the tracks within a channel by tapping the name of the track.)

How to add a new Routine:
- To create a new Routine hit the Add a Routine button on the bottom of your Manage Routine menu.
- Name your Routine.
- Choose your sound and color combination.
- Select the time you want that routine to begin and end.
- Choose the days you want your Routine to run.
- Hit Save to store your new Routine.
How to permanently delete a Routine:
- In the Manage Routines menu, tap the Routine you want to delete and swipe your finger towards the left (iPhone) or right (Android). A red Delete button will appear. Tapping on the Delete button will permanently Delete the selected Routine.
Please note: Routines start and don't look back so changes made during a Routine will take effect the NEXT time it runs (the current run won't reflect those changes). This includes Routines created after their start time, which will kick off the next time the start time rolls around.
